Track Team Tops Tourney tAimostj Despite the fact that only ten men have re- ported for track this season there are good prospects. Coach Dan Stark has the boys training every afternoon, and there is im- provement in almost every department. In the first meet of the season the Stark- men were bested by Tonkawa and South- western in a triangular affair on the local field, April 3. The Arkansas City juco track- sters managed four firsts, two seconds and three thirds, which was a good showing for the first event of the season. The Tigers showed a weakness in field events and in the weight division, but were definitely strong on the track. i A Calvin Howard took first in the mile run and repeated the same procedure on the half mile run to lead the juco scoring. Despite a taped ankle and a cool day, Benson Quisen- berry, another strong member of the Tiger squad, took the 440 yard dash with a time of 55:4. Arkansas City's other first place was won in the broad jump by Wayne Falkenstein, a freshman from Onega, Kansas. The two seconds for the Tigers were Ever- ett Aleshire in the discus throw and Wayne Falkenstein in the 100 yard dash. Third places were won by J. T. James in the high jump, Charles Jones in the javelin throw, and Ben- son Quisenberry in the discuss throw. It was the Tigers first event of the season and Coach Stark's boys may be expected to make a good showing the remainder of the season. Though the squad is the smallest in several years, the juco trackmen are improv- in rapidly. Another good poilnt is that with the exception of two, the track team consists of all freshmen. This year's experience should develop a strong team next spring. Freshmen on the squad include: Benson Quisenberry and Delbert Wollard, Geuda Springsg J.T. James and Robert Himes, Ar- kansas Cityg Wayne Falkensein, Onegag Everett Aleshire, Anthonyg Claude Dudeck, Atlantag and Charles Jones, Rainbow Bend. Calvin Howard and Charles Chapman are the sophomore members of the squad. Calvin Howard has already proven his worth in the mile and 880 yard run. It takes plenty of stamina, wind, and speed to run either of these and Calviln has it. Calvin won both of these events consistently last year and so far is repeating it again this year. The team will miss himvigreatly when next season rolls around. . Another high-stepper and showing great promises is Benson Quisenberry. He excells in 440 yard dash and from appearances. Ben- son should bring home several' first place honors before the season is lover. ' ' A In the broad jump and dashes, Coach Stark boasts of another strong member of his '41 squad, Wayne Falkenstein. Wayne has al- ready placed high in both departments and is showing rapid improvement. In the javelin throw, both Everett Aleshire and Charles Jones have 'made strong bids and further meets should show these boys going places. Aleshire has also displayed good form in the discus throw with Benson Quisenberry as a stronger partner. ' ' Other boys showing up well are J.T. James in the hurdles and high jump, Charles Chap- man in the hurdles, and: Robert Himes in the javelin and distance runs. This years trackteam may not break all records, but they have already displayed their strength in certain departments. With the number of freshmen' on his squad, Coach Stark can expect even greater results next year. Fall ln!! Girls-please!! Basketball, badminton, tennis, and ping pong-played in tournament sand just games -have been the main projects in the juco girls gym class. Work-outs twice a week under the direction of Miss Edith Davis, girls physical education supervisor, have improved the skill of most of the girls this year. On March 22 the class went to Parsons for a PlaylpDay of competitive sports. Teams from several colleges near Parsons competed in tennis, badminton, table tennis, and shuffle board. Archery and swimming were enthus- iastically accepted by Ark City's delegates. The idea of the event was not so much to win honors, but just to have fun with other girls in sports. Although Ark City came home without any trophies to display, the girls felt they had accomplished somethingin taking part in the various games.
